Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitising
Conclusions:
None of the treated animal showed delayed contact hypersensitivity within 48 hours. Thus, the chemical was considered to be not sensitizing in Guinea pigs.
 
Executive summary:

A delayed contact hypersensitivity test was conducted on Guinea pigs to evaluate the skin sensitization potential of test chemical under occlusive condition.

 

Ten animals were used in the treatment group and 10 in the control group.During induction, the test site on the flank was clipped and shaved and 500mg (0.5 g) of 30% (w/w) test chemical diluted in petroleum jelly was applied for 6 h under a closed patch, once a week, for 3 weeks. A control site received only the petroleum jelly. Two weeks after the last application, 0.1 g each of 30%, 10%, 3%, or the petroleum jelly were applied to the shaved skin and left for 24 h under a closed patch. Skin reactions were scored on a −, ±, +, ++, +++ scale at 24 and 48 h.

 

None of the treated animal showed delayed contact hypersensitivity within 48 hours. Thus, the chemical was considered to be not sensitizing in Guinea pigs.
